Hi everyone,
I am 22 years old and I have finally decided to go ahead with rhino/septo surgery! I had a bad fall when I was a child that resulted in a small hump, two uneven bumps on the bridge of my nose, uneven nostrils, and the bridge of my nose as well as my septum crooked. My surgery is about 6 weeks away and I am starting to get nervous and anxious.
I have uploaded several photos for you guys to take a look at. My doctor morphed a photo to show me what my results would look like, however I am beginning to wonder if I would prefer more of a slope. What do you guys think?

Hi congrats on your upcoming surgery! I personally think the little bit of a slope fits you nicely. ;) Good luck and I can't wait to see your results!

I think I like the slope a bit more as well. I was really hoping to get some feedback on this so thank you!

Regarding to the slope, I like it with a little bit of more slope too :)

I like profile pictures that you surgeon made, but not sure about front pics. It looks like he is not going to touch right side of the nose. If that's what you want, then great. But just was wondering... :)

I agree! I think it still looks a bit crooked. I plan on discussing this with him during the pre-op appointment. Thanks!

I agree. I think he could do better with the front. Maybe tip refinement? :)

Thanks so much for sharing with us on RealSelf! I like both profile morphs a lot! Like Natalia said, I don't see much difference in the frontal pics, so if you want more changed than that make sure you communicate this to your surgeon.

Looking forward to following your journey.

Here's a list of supplies you might need for recovery.

The morph looks very natural! I think a slope would look very pretty

Hey Guys,
So my surgery date is coming up pretty quickly. Needless to say I am getting pretty nervous! Just had my pre-op appointment yesterday and everything went well. I discussed perhaps having more of a slope. The Dr agreed it would look nice so we are going to go ahead and do that!

Hey everyone,
So just about 4 more days to go until my surgery. I just wanted to throw a question out there for anyone who has had to stay in a hotel for their first week of recovery: Is there anything different/any tips you think I should know about?
Thanks!
Ill update Tuesday after my surgery :):):)
